Shanika Jordan

Treasurer

Shanika is the mother of four children (three girls and one boy). Her son, Roland, has severe hemophilia B, and she also has a grandson with the same condition. Before Roland's diagnosis, Shanika's family had no known history of hemophilia, making his initial diagnosis quite a surprise. However, she quickly adapted and learned about managing the condition. Now, 21 years later, her son has successfully graduated from college with a Business degree. Shanika has actively participated as a member of the Hemophilia Foundation of Maryland for over 20 years.​
